GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 773163
Network settings cannot configure vpn
Last modified: 2016-10-21 05:13:04 UTC
I just upgraded to fedora 25 beta with gnome 3.22.1 and now I can't configure VPN. I also can't connect to my previously configured VPN. It just tells me "Error: unable to load VPN connection editor".
Do you have these packages installed: NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome-1.2.6-0.1.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-pptp-gnome-1.2.4-0.1.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome-1.2.4-0.1.fc25.x86_64 ? fwiw, I also updated to f25 (on a system which has been updated between a few fedora releases already) and my old VPN configuration still works and I can edit it just fine.
Yes, all three are installed.
Any error messages in journalctl when you try connecting ?
Nothing when I try to add a VPN. Unfortunately, I can't just try to connect because I've already deleted my VPN in the hopes that I could delete and re-add to solve the problem.
Found it! For some reason, my fedora update didn't install NetworkManager-openconnect-gnome.
Ok, so that only solved half of it. Now I'm getting the following in journalctl: <error> [1476806193.7719] vpn-connection[0x562fbe8fa380,232682df-c741-47da-817b-277b7db9d9ae,"Intel",0]: Failed to request VPN secrets #3: No agents were available for this request.
I think I've got it sorted now and, again, not gnome's fault. My VPN certs seem to have gotten invalidated by the upgrade. Sorry for the noise.
